This is where I will store the new lyrics I’ve written. I didn’t want to spam my main blog page with them, but I wanted them to see he light of day somehow. =] Comment if you’d like. I love feedback on my lyrics. And please don’t steal. These are personal (most of the time).
Plaything [[11/15/09]]
I’ll write a sad song for you
Just one, before I go,
You’re “all I ever knew,”
and all I ever want to know.
So go ahead –
abuse me, use me
Say whatever you want to to me.
I’m your plaything
and I always have been.
I’ll cry one more tear for you
or a thousand more before the night
is over, or I’m still too
weak to make everything alright
So go ahead
and preach, now, tell me
How I’m wrong and always will be.
I’m your plaything
and I always have been.
And I always have been…
So go ahead
abuse me, use me
say whatever you want to to me
So go ahead,
and preach, now, tell me
How I’m wrong and always will be
So go ahead
and make me suffer –
tell me how you’ll always love her.
So go ahead
and make my days more
Useless than they were before
Than they were before… you ever came.
So I’ll do one more trick for you,
to leave you with that look on your face:
I’ll tear this heart in two
and say it never meant a thing.
So go ahead
and watch me walk away,
and don’t say you ever felt a thing
Cus I’m your plaything
and I always have been.
I’m your plaything.
I’m your plaything.
I’m your plaything.
Maybe… [[6/23/2009]]
Maybe it’s all just been too simple
Maybe that has been my problem this whole time
So maybe if the world won’t stop spinning
then I can find a piece of mind…
Maybe it’s all just been too steady
Maybe it’s all just been too fast, too strong, too smooth
Maybe I can’t pretend I’m ready
but maybe I just don’t care cus its no use
And maybe this time
the whole world won’t pass me by
and maybe, if I try
I’ll have something to call mine
Just maybe…
So maybe I can’t predict the weather
but maybe I’ll find a way to weather through somehow
and maybe someday I will be better
but until then I’ll try again
And maybe this time
the whole world won’t pass me by
and maybe, if I try
I’ll have something to call mine
Just maybe
But maybe I won’t be so strong
And maybe one day I will fall
Then maybe I will stand back up again
Again…
And maybe this time
the whole world won’t pass me by
and maybe, if I try
I’ll have something to call mine
And maybe by then
I will do it all again
so maybe, I guess,
it’s the journey, not the end
just maybe….

They say dreams can last so long
but you gave yours up when you were too young
Go on, find someone else
to hide yourself behind.
You know you shouldn’t waste your time
You could have had a better life
but instead you chose a love
built upon a crime.
And I promised to be there to dry your tears,
but you also promised to be here longer than 3 years
I want to save you, but you won’t let me
You push me away and hide inside a dream
I want to save you, but you’re already too gone
I’m afraid that you have been here for too long.
But I want to save you
I see you’re falling out of grace,
you’ve lost the glow upon your face
and you’re diseased by things
you should have never seen.
You nearly work yourself to death,
you only speak when you’re out of breath
You’ve lost your friends, your youth,
your freedom, your family.
And yeah, I promised to come running at your call
But do you ever make a point to call at all?
I want to save you, but you won’t let me
You push me away and hide inside a dream
I want to save you, but you’re already too gone
I’m afraid that you have been here for too long
So you give up everything,
So you fall apart at the seams
over nothing
(yeah, he’s nothing to me)
So you gave up all your dreams
So I listened to your screams
over nothing
(You’re nothing to me…)
Now it looks like you are done
Another soul to keep so young
I don’t know her,
but I guess one day I will
You could have been much more than this,
but you’re caught up in your bliss
No, I don’t know her
but I know one day I will
Because if he leaves you both out on the floor
I will be there with my arms open once more
Cus I want to save you, but will you let me?
Or push me away and hide inside a dream?
I want to save you, but are you too gone?
Have you missed out, have you been here for too long?
I want to save you,
I want to save you,
I want to save you,
Amy, let me save you
